Vanuatu Wall Map — Political Overview of the South Pacific
Explore the rich island geography of Vanuatu, a diverse Pacific nation stretching across a vast sweep of the South Pacific Ocean, east of Australia and north of New Caledonia. This detailed political wall map presents Vanuatu with clarity and balance, revealing how dozens of islands are scattered across open ocean yet united by shared culture, history, and administration.
Designed as both a reference map and a striking wall display, this edition clearly identifies major islands, internal divisions, and key population centres—making it ideal for education, planning, or simply appreciating the complexity of Pacific island geography.
🌴 Island Nation in Detail
-
Major islands clearly shown, including Espíritu Santo, Malakula, Efate, Tanna, and Aneityum
-
Port Vila prominently marked on Efate as the national capital
-
Smaller towns and administrative centres carefully labelled
-
Island groups such as the Banks, Torres, and Shepherd Islands distinguished to show regional structure
-
Clean political styling emphasises boundaries, names, and spatial relationships
The result is a map that communicates Vanuatu’s geography at a glance—its elongated north–south layout, volcanic origins, and the sheer distances between island communities.
🧭 Regional Context & Pacific Perspective
A thoughtfully placed inset map provides essential regional context, situating Vanuatu among its Pacific neighbours:

Solomon Islands to the northwest

Fiji to the east

New Caledonia to the south
Also shown further north is Tuvalu, one of the world’s smallest and most remote nations. Though tiny in land area, Tuvalu holds an outsized cultural presence in the Pacific, known for its coral atolls, lagoon systems, and strong community traditions centred around the maneapa meeting house.
